Hornets unveil new, very bright City uniforms – At The Hive

The uniforms are classic Hornets colors yellow and orange with blue and white trim. They are an homage to the birds-of-paradise flower, which was given its official name (Strelitzia) after Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. I recognize some of those words in her name. I might can see the connection.

You check out all the team media and details of the uniforms here.

The Hornets will wear the uniforms 12 times between now and the end of the season. The games:

• November 15 vs Thunder
• November 29 vs Raptors
• December 18 vs Hawks
• December 31 vs Warriors
• January 24 vs Wizards
• January 31 vs Spurs
• February 19 vs Rockets
• February 20 vs Cavaliers
• March 6 vs Heat
• March 21 vs Grizzlies
• March 26 vs Knicks
• April 10 vs Pistons

I personally like them. The City uniforms are supposed to be fun, so I like that they went completely away from the Hornets color palette. It’s a nice change of pace for a few games. Plus I’m a sucker for very bright, almost obnoxiously bright colors.
